OUR BRICK AND MORTAR SHOP ON COLLIERGATE HAS CLOSED! We will be looking for a new space but please follow our social media to see where we are in terms of pop up shops, fairs, car boots and of course you can still shop right here online.. The museum and Kickstarter supporters are still a priority, we will meet all incentives as soon as we are able.

After over a decade of selling our unusual curated finds and scientific preparations in our own shops, gallery and museum spaces as well as through several online and local markets in the United States, we opened our current eclectic curiosity shop in York City Centre. We closed the city centre shop and museum in October of 2018 and will be online and at various venues until a new location can be arranged. We pride ourselves on our oddities, unusual antiques, vintage treasures, in house created skulls, taxidermy and biological specimens and giving our shoppers a museum like experience. We specialise in diaphonisation, customised skull and skeleton mounts and personalised processing and preparations. Everything in our store is carefully curated and brought to our customers with a passion for the stories behind the objects. We host classes and lectures and related events and rent out our skills, inventory and our space.

We are your One Stop Weird Shop.

An old fashioned curiosity shop, with an eye towards sharing antique and modern fascinations with the greater community in every way possible, like a Victorian cabinet of curiosities.

I just found this gorgeous necklace while packing final bits of the shop. This is made from a piece of irreparably damaged antique human skull, from a former medical skeleton. I am able to post today if anyone would like it. Deeply discounted price of £45 posted in the UK, £50 worldwide.

A variety of lovely items we are arranging for a prop hire. Love to play with the museum pieces!

Tonight’s the night!!! @theartfuldodgeryork ! Come see the weird, buy the strange while having a drink in one of our favourite haunts! Maybe something you buy will haunt you 💀🙀

Tomorrow we will begin actually taking things down, still possible to arrange for picking up specific items in the day time, just not suitable for browsing anymore. Be sure to stop by The Artful Dodger Saturday around 9 pm for some cool stuff for sale in our pop up event ❤️

How about a York pop up event with @theartfuldodgeryork ??? The 6th, 9 pm, come grab a drink, get a deal and see us weirdos 🖤💀☠️🖤
